Finished FEAR 2
Looks like there'll be a FEAR 3

What's your verdict on FEAR 2? I've just finished FEAR 1 and both addons and really enjoyed it.

Excellent storyline, not as scary as FEAR1 although maybe that's just me. I have completed it on Normal difficulty and I think I will try it on a harder level as it felt a bit easy.

It certainly doesn't become as repetitive as the middle bit of FEAR1

Overall 8/10 :thumbsup:

I found in the demo at least the armour didn't make the satisfying end note noise when they died like in fear 1. Is this the case with all the armour? Killing the armour in the first one and having a satisfying static noise was fun

.

Still holding off buying Fear 2 but I will get it soon.

I'm really enjoying FEAR2. Not as scary as 1, but still some good moments. I agree with Blueball that normal mode errs on the easy side, but the storyline is excellent, even if it leaves my sympathies with Alma.

I started the game yesterday and found normal simply too easy. Moved it to hard and i still never go below my maximum medkits and simply chip away at my armour. Its easy mainly due to the behavior of the AI and the ability to pick up weapons, ammo and armour on a more regular basis than in the first. DEspite this the game has some good moments and the corridors are samey but at least theres a variety of objects and levels besides simply offices as in the first one.

Finished it up just now. I gotta say it wasn't nearly as scary as Fear 1 at any point, even though with better gfx you'd expect it to be. But maybe my FEAR 1 veterancy has to do with that, as I played the first few games a couple times over. It gets predictable after a while to see that there's a pattern in a scary bit followed by a combat bit, and the combat area's are laid out so that you have multiple approach routes, but that unfortunately also has the effect of being identifiable as something w/o any scary stuff right away.

I kinda found it weird they didn't do any scary things with the "press E and hold to lift" fallen over cabinets all the time. Woulda been perfect to put Alma behind them at some point :> Also, without spoiling... In the end, did she do what I think she did? xD

Anyone had any sound issues on this?? I have sound and when I shooting but I have very little or nothing from the Baddies and when not even a little bang when a explsion goes off.

Nope, fine for me.

DL the demol- my sound won't work; game states an "Acceleration" problem; internet suggestions won't assist...

Just starting to play through the paid expansion dlc. (Fear 2 Reborn)

The GUI is different and it seems a bit easy again.

Is it worth an extra Ã,Â£7 i'm still not sure and will let you know when i have finished it as i am currently on interval 2

GhostMjr · September 10, 2009, 07:13:13 PM

All finished, around 3 hours gameplay at the most!
